I can't even figure out what to call this post, I'll come back to it. [I came back to it and titled it with my final thought.] So I started my blog a bit over two years ago, to have an outlet for my thoughts and feelings that I'm not comfortable sharing in real life.… Continue reading Any advice for entering a new phase?
Well, not old as in they themselves are old. More, long-standing.... While I was at my mum and dad's during our summer holiday I managed to meet up with three very long-standing friends who I've known for very many years. Two who I met while we were in reception (kindergarden) and one who I've known… Continue reading Old Friends
Well I guess it's time to get back out there? Yes? No? Maybe a bit? I won't pretend that I'm not perhaps a bit more cautious than many people about ending lockdown. I felt that the kids went back to school too early at the beginning of March. I felt we need to keep adapting… Continue reading Getting back out there
Instagram was something I knew nothing about when I started blogging. I'd been deliberately steering clear of it - all the chat about "insta perfect" lives really put me off. I thought I would end up looking at other people's pictures and feel like I didn't live up to some imagined standard. Facebook competitive parenting… Continue reading My Instagram Favourites
Tens of millions infected. More than a million dead. Businesses crippled. Nearly everyone’s lives upended in ways great and small. All because of COVID-19, which made 2020 a terrible year even for those of us lucky enough to have not been personally touched by the virus. But as we enter 2021 — with all the… Continue reading Silver Linings
Or "I'm not as strong as you think I am" We all see post and self-help articles, memes and books, every day that tell us we are strong, that we are stronger than we believe, that we can find our inner strength in adversity. Well, here I'm talking about the opposite. Sometimes we do find… Continue reading Finding Weakness
I haven't taken part in Blogmas this year, the organizational mountain required is just too intimidating. It looks so much fun though, so maybe next year you'll find me planning Christmas advice in August... or maybe not. Anyway, I would love to share some of the lovely Christmas posts I've read by other bloggers over… Continue reading My Favourite Christmas Posts 2020
The Christmas Tag The wonderful Undaunted Adventure has created a lovely new Christmas Tag to share some love between us bloggers. I'm totally thrilled to be nominated in the kick off post. Then a little while later the fabulous Chehak at ChehakChirps and the lovely Gemma at This Brit's Life tagged me too. The Christmas… Continue reading Some Christmas Tags
We live in the UK, so for us Thanksgiving is usually some far off celebration that doesn't mean very much to us, not unlike Bastille Day or Indian Independence Day. For me, it means a lovely quiet week at work as my company has a large presence in California and the North East of the… Continue reading Thanksgiving 2020
It's Baby Loss Awareness Week. On Thursday 15th October 2020, it's a special day to remember our babies we didn't get to keep and raise awareness. I'll either be taking the day off social media or muting some topics. It's vitally important that we raise awareness of baby and infant loss and miscarriage. Families that… Continue reading Baby Loss Awareness Week 2020
